Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Eiichi Tsukata found a small bug from the fixup of the stack code
Removing ULONG_MAX as the marker for the user stack trace end, made
the tracing code not know where the end is. The end is now marked with
a zero (NULL) pointer. Eiichi fixed this in the tracing code"

Commit c5c27a0a5838 ("x86/stacktrace: Remove the pointless ULONG_MAX
marker") removes ULONG_MAX marker from user stack trace entries but
trace_user_stack_print() still uses the marker and it outputs unnecessary
"??".
For example:
less-1911 [001] d..2 34.758944: <user stack trace>
=> <00007f16f2295910>
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
=> ??
The user stack trace code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if
the trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate
the print loop if a zero entry is detected.

There are two generations of tlb operation instruction for C-SKY.
First generation is use mcr register and it need software do more
things, second generation is use specific instructions, eg:
tlbi.va, tlbi.vas, tlbi.alls
We implemented the following functions:
- flush_tlb_range (a range of entries)
- flush_tlb_page (one entry)
Above functions use asid from vma->mm to invalid tlb entries and
we could use tlbi.vas instruction for newest generation csky cpu.
- flush_tlb_kernel_range
- flush_tlb_one
Above functions don't care asid and it invalid the tlb entries only
with vpn and we could use tlbi.vaas instruction for newest generat-
ion csky cpu.

This patch only contains asid help code from arm for next patch to
use.
The asid allocator use five level check to reduce the cost of
switch_mm.
1. Check if the asid version is the same (it's general)
2. Check reserved_asid which is set in rollover flush_context()
and key point is to keep the same bit position with the current
asid version instead of input version.
3. Check if the position of bitmap is free then it could be set &
used directly.
4. find_next_zero_bit() (a little performance cost)
5. flush_context (this is the worst cost with increase current asid
version)
Check is level by level and cost is also higher with the next level.
The reserved_asid and bitmap mechanism prevent unnecessary
find_next_zero_bit().
The atomic 64 bit asid is also suitable for 32-bit system and it
won't cost a lot in 1th 2th 3th level check.
The operation of set/clear mm_cpumask was removed in arm64 compared to
arm32. It seems no side effect on current arm64 system, but from
software meaning it's wrong. Although csky also needn't it, we add it
back for csky.
The asid_per_ctxt is no use for csky and it reserves the lowest bits for
other use, maybe: trust zone ? Ok, just keep it in csky copy.
Seems it also could be used by other archs and it's worth to move asid
code to generic in future.

Current C-SKY ASID mechanism is from mips and it doesn't work well
with multi-cores. ASID per core mechanism is not suitable for C-SKY
SMP tlb maintain operations, eg: tlbi.vas need share the same asid
in all processors and it'll invalid the tlb entry in all cores with
the same asid.
This patch is prepare for new ASID mechanism.

The csky pmu counter may have different io width. When the counter is
smaller then 64 bits and counter value is smaller than the old value, it
will result to a extremely large delta value. So the sampled value should
be extend to 64 bits to avoid this, the extension bits base on the
count-width property from dts.

Neal reported incorrect use of ns_capable() from bpf hook.
bpf_setsockopt(...TCP_CONGESTION...)
-> tcp_set_congestion_control()
-> ns_capable(sock_net(sk)->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)
-> ns_capable_common()
-> current_cred()
-> rcu_dereference_protected(current->cred, 1)
Accessing 'current' in bpf context makes no sense, since packets
are processed from softirq context.
As Neal stated : The capability check in tcp_set_congestion_control()
was written assuming a system call context, and then was reused from
a BPF call site.
The fix is to add a new parameter to tcp_set_congestion_control(),
so that the ns_capable() call is only performed under the right
context.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.
On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.
The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:
$ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
248
Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

At namespace creation time there is the potential for the "expected to
be zero" fields of a 'pfn' info-block to be filled with indeterminate
data. While the kernel buffer is zeroed on allocation it is immediately
overwritten by nd_pfn_validate() filling it with the current contents of
the on-media info-block location. For fields like, 'flags' and the
'padding' it potentially means that future implementations can not rely on
those fields being zero.
In preparation to stop using the 'start_pad' and 'end_trunc' fields for
section alignment, arrange for fields that are not explicitly
initialized to be guaranteed zero. Bump the minor version to indicate
it is safe to assume the 'padding' and 'flags' are zero. Otherwise,
this corruption is expected to benign since all other critical fields
are explicitly initialized.
Note The cc: stable is about spreading this new policy to as many
kernels as possible not fixing an issue in those kernels. It is not
until the change titled "libnvdimm/pfn: Stop padding pmem namespaces to
section alignment" where this improper initialization becomes a problem.
So if someone decides to backport "libnvdimm/pfn: Stop padding pmem
namespaces to section alignment" (which is not tagged for stable), make
sure this pre-requisite is flagged.

Teach devm_memremap_pages() about the new sub-section capabilities of
arch_{add,remove}_memory(). Effectively, just replace all usage of
align_start, align_end, and align_size with res->start, res->end, and
resource_size(res). The existing sanity check will still make sure that
the two separate remap attempts do not collide within a sub-section (2MB
on x86).

The libnvdimm sub-system has suffered a series of hacks and broken
workarounds for the memory-hotplug implementation's awkward
section-aligned (128MB) granularity.
For example the following backtrace is emitted when attempting
arch_add_memory() with physical address ranges that intersect 'System
RAM' (RAM) with 'Persistent Memory' (PMEM) within a given section:

It was discovered that the problem goes beyond RAM vs PMEM collisions as
some platform produce PMEM vs PMEM collisions within a given section.
The libnvdimm workaround for that case revealed that the libnvdimm
section-alignment-padding implementation has been broken for a long
while.
A fix for that long-standing breakage introduces as many problems as it
solves as it would require a backward-incompatible change to the
namespace metadata interpretation. Instead of that dubious route [1],
address the root problem in the memory-hotplug implementation.
Note that EEXIST is no longer treated as success as that is how
sparse_add_section() reports subsection collisions, it was also obviated
by recent changes to perform the request_region() for 'System RAM'
before arch_add_memory() in the add_memory() sequence.

Allow sub-section sized ranges to be added to the memmap.
populate_section_memmap() takes an explict pfn range rather than
assuming a full section, and those parameters are plumbed all the way
through to vmmemap_populate(). There should be no sub-section usage in
current deployments. New warnings are added to clarify which memmap
allocation paths are sub-section capable.

Prepare for hot{plug,remove} of sub-ranges of a section by tracking a
sub-section active bitmask, each bit representing a PMD_SIZE span of the
architecture's memory hotplug section size.
The implications of a partially populated section is that pfn_valid()
needs to go beyond a valid_section() check and either determine that the
section is an "early section", or read the sub-section active ranges
from the bitmask. The expectation is that the bitmask (subsection_map)
fits in the same cacheline as the valid_section() / early_section()
data, so the incremental performance overhead to pfn_valid() should be
negligible.
The rationale for using early_section() to short-ciruit the
subsection_map check is that there are legacy code paths that use
pfn_valid() at section granularity before validating the pfn against
pgdat data. So, the early_section() check allows those traditional
assumptions to persist while also permitting subsection_map to tell the
truth for purposes of populating the unused portions of early sections
with PMEM and other ZONE_DEVICE mappings.

In preparation for sub-section hotplug, track whether a given section
was created during early memory initialization, or later via memory
hotplug. This distinction is needed to maintain the coarse expectation
that pfn_valid() returns true for any pfn within a given section even if
that section has pages that are reserved from the page allocator.
For example one of the of goals of subsection hotplug is to support
cases where the system physical memory layout collides System RAM and
PMEM within a section. Several pfn_valid() users expect to just check
if a section is valid, but they are not careful to check if the given
pfn is within a "System RAM" boundary and instead expect pgdat
information to further validate the pfn.
Rather than unwind those paths to make their pfn_valid() queries more
precise a follow on patch uses the SECTION_IS_EARLY flag to maintain the
traditional expectation that pfn_valid() returns true for all early
sections.

Patch series "mm: Sub-section memory hotplug support", v10.
The memory hotplug section is an arbitrary / convenient unit for memory
hotplug. 'Section-size' units have bled into the user interface
('memblock' sysfs) and can not be changed without breaking existing
userspace. The section-size constraint, while mostly benign for typical
memory hotplug, has and continues to wreak havoc with 'device-memory'
use cases, persistent memory (pmem) in particular. Recall that pmem
uses devm_memremap_pages(), and subsequently arch_add_memory(), to
allocate a 'struct page' memmap for pmem. However, it does not use the
'bottom half' of memory hotplug, i.e. never marks pmem pages online and
never exposes the userspace memblock interface for pmem. This leaves an
opening to redress the section-size constraint.
To date, the libnvdimm subsystem has attempted to inject padding to
satisfy the internal constraints of arch_add_memory(). Beyond
complicating the code, leading to bugs [2], wasting memory, and limiting
configuration flexibility, the padding hack is broken when the platform
changes this physical memory alignment of pmem from one boot to the
next. Device failure (intermittent or permanent) and physical
reconfiguration are events that can cause the platform firmware to
change the physical placement of pmem on a subsequent boot, and device
failure is an everyday event in a data-center.
It turns out that sections are only a hard requirement of the
user-facing interface for memory hotplug and with a bit more
infrastructure sub-section arch_add_memory() support can be added for
kernel internal usages like devm_memremap_pages(). Here is an analysis
of the current design assumptions in the current code and how they are
addressed in the new implementation:
Current design assumptions:
- Sections that describe boot memory (early sections) are never
unplugged / removed.
- pfn_valid(), in the CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y, case devolves to a
valid_section() check
- __add_pages() and helper routines assume all operations occur in
PAGES_PER_SECTION units.
- The memblock sysfs interface only comprehends full sections
New design assumptions:
- Sections are instrumented with a sub-section bitmask to track (on
x86) individual 2MB sub-divisions of a 128MB section.
- Partially populated early sections can be extended with additional
sub-sections, and those sub-sections can be removed with
arch_remove_memory(). With this in place we no longer lose usable
memory capacity to padding.
- pfn_valid() is updated to look deeper than valid_section() to also
check the active-sub-section mask. This indication is in the same
cacheline as the valid_section() so the performance impact is
expected to be negligible. So far the lkp robot has not reported any
regressions.
- Outside of the core vmemmap population routines which are replaced,
other helper routines like shrink_{zone,pgdat}_span() are updated to
handle the smaller granularity. Core memory hotplug routines that
deal with online memory are not touched.
- The existing memblock sysfs user api guarantees / assumptions are not
touched since this capability is limited to !online
!memblock-sysfs-accessible sections.
Meanwhile the issue reports continue to roll in from users that do not
understand when and how the 128MB constraint will bite them. The current
implementation relied on being able to support at least one misaligned
namespace, but that immediately falls over on any moderately complex
namespace creation attempt. Beyond the initial problem of 'System RAM'
colliding with pmem, and the unsolvable problem of physical alignment
changes, Linux is now being exposed to platforms that collide pmem ranges
with other pmem ranges by default [3]. In short, devm_memremap_pages()
has pushed the venerable section-size constraint past the breaking point,
and the simplicity of section-aligned arch_add_memory() is no longer

These patches are exposed to the kbuild robot on a subsection-v10 branch

This patch (of 13):
Towards enabling memory hotplug to track partial population of a section,
introduce 'struct mem_section_usage'.
A pointer to a 'struct mem_section_usage' instance replaces the existing
pointer to a 'pageblock_flags' bitmap. Effectively it adds one more
'unsigned long' beyond the 'pageblock_flags' (usemap) allocation to house
a new 'subsection_map' bitmap. The new bitmap enables the memory
hot{plug,remove} implementation to act on incremental sub-divisions of a
section.
SUBSECTION_SHIFT is defined as global constant instead of per-architecture
value like SECTION_SIZE_BITS in order to allow cross-arch compatibility of
subsection users. Specifically a common subsection size allows for the
possibility that persistent memory namespace configurations be made
compatible across architectures.
The primary motivation for this functionality is to support platforms that
mix "System RAM" and "Persistent Memory" within a single section, or
multiple PMEM ranges with different mapping lifetimes within a single
section. The section restriction for hotplug has caused an ongoing saga
of hacks and bugs for devm_memremap_pages() users.
Beyond the fixups to teach existing paths how to retrieve the 'usemap'
from a section, and updates to usemap allocation path, there are no
expected behavior changes.

No longer needed, let's remove it. Also, drop the "hint" parameter
completely from "find_memory_block_by_id", as nobody needs it anymore.

Let's move walk_memory_blocks() to the place where memory block logic
resides and simplify it. While at it, add a type for the callback
function.

pfns
walk_memory_range() was once used to iterate over sections. Now, it
iterates over memory blocks. Rename the function, fixup the
documentation.
Also, pass start+size instead of PFNs, which is what most callers
already have at hand. (we'll rework link_mem_sections() most probably
soon)
Follow-up patches will rework, simplify, and move walk_memory_blocks()
to drivers/base/memory.c.
Note: walk_memory_blocks() only works correctly right now if the
start_pfn is aligned to a section start. This is the case right now,
but we'll generalize the function in a follow up patch so the semantics
match the documentation.

Patch series "mm: Further memory block device cleanups", v1.
Some further cleanups around memory block devices. Especially, clean up
and simplify walk_memory_range(). Including some other minor cleanups.
This patch (of 6):
We are using a mixture of "int" and "unsigned long". Let's make this
consistent by using "unsigned long" everywhere. We'll do the same with
memory block ids next.
While at it, turn the "unsigned long i" in removable_show() into an int
- sections_per_block is an int.
